In June 2025, Denise Richards had a face and neck lift done by Dr. Ben Talei.

In an interview with Inside editionsaid the cosmetic surgeon the tough and the beautiful actress “felt like her face just didn’t look like her anymore.”

“A face and neck lift, a temporary brow restoration, where I’m basically putting the top third of the face, which is coming down, back into place,” he added. “The eyes were reshaped. I performed a cupid’s angle lift, where we made an incision on the side of the mouth to help neutralize it and make the side of the mouth look younger and younger again.”

While Richards was initially “terrified” before undergoing the surgery, The world is not enough star said the facelift helped her regain her confidence.

“I’m so grateful to Dr. Ben, I really am, because as we get older, it doesn’t happen overnight, you know. But when you get a facelift, once you’re healed, it’s like night and day. You see a dramatic difference,” she said. “It’s given me… Especially with what I’m going through in life, you know? I wasn’t going through a divorce when I got it, even though there were obviously some big problems in my marriage. But it’s just given me a new lease on life. It’s given me confidence.”

Richards, who split from husband Aaron Phypers in July 2025, continued: “And people have asked me, if I wasn’t an actress, would I still have it? And I would have. I would do that too. Because if I can feel good, and if it gives me confidence, I’m grateful that I did it. It has changed my life in such a good way. I had no idea. I wish I did it sooner, but I’m grateful I did it when I did.”
